    This week is for the golf equipment nerds! We're really digging deep into drivers. You get to see my numbers, hear about all the best equipment (including what Ian thinks is the best driver of 2023), watch me test a mini driver for the first time, and learn a little about if a mini driver might be right for you. Ian has worked with so many professional golfers and amateurs alike and knows more about golf equipment than 99.9% of people out there. We are so lucky to have him on the channel this week!

    So informative. Your comments about having to work hard to get the ball out there and not getting any help from the club is where I was this time last year. Had a session with Stephen from Fit For Purpose Golf and made a shaft change in the driver from Project X Even Flow 6.0 S 55g to Accra TZ6 Proto 55 M3 R. Absolutely love the new shaft. However, after watching this video, I am looking at my Epic Flash Sub Zero and thinking TSi3 🤔

    Paige, I moved to a TSR3 this season as well. I had a (mostly) proper fitting, and after a month or so I went from slicing and a 225 carry to a thirty yard dispersion from center with a 260 carry. As you mentioned, the club is essentially effortless to swing and VERY consistent. This does provide a level of confidence off the tee that carries through the rest of a round. This club saves me nearly ten strokes a game now just by virtue of the added distance and hitting more fairways. Ian hits it on the head when he says the TSR3 may be the best driver on the market now. Love your content and humor. Keep up the good work.

    Club Champion AZ did my Iron and Driver fitting this year. Along with that I had my first sub 80 round along with it. I've steadily been leaving my golf partners behind and am now 15 strokes ahead of them. Our swings aren't simply "cut and paste". Highly recommend fittings if you want to improve.

  • @tomashmore4128

    I see the mini more as a 3 wood replacement, I have the 13.5 head set to 14.25 with a tensei 1k orange, my course requires alot of 3 wood tee shots so its been the perfect 3 wood replacement for me. I believe alot of the tour pros use it that way too more of a 3 wood replacement, saw alot in play recently at the BMW at Wentworth as they don't hit driver all that much there.

    7 hdcp here. I use a 3 wood and a mini-driver. Best choice I ever made.
    Mini-driver is the taylormade aeroburnder 14 degree minidriver
    3 wood is the ping 3 -somethingsomething that came out a couple years back in a 15 degree.
    Minidriver is just the most versatile club I've ever hit.
    50% mindriver shot ftw!!! Perfect laser for 210 yards and a little bit of roll. vs 50% driver tends to draw a little, which isn't the goal...
    3 wood is generally for hitting off the deck as the mini-driver is low launch. But it's also a fade biased club, which I use to hit fades off the tee (as I don't hit a good fade usually).
    If you were listening to the convo in the video, you should note that hookers should make themselves a fade bias club, because you have to hit a fade sometimes...

    Paige! You are delightfully wicked. 😊 The vibe I got from Ian at the beginning was, "don't look down. Don't look down. Look her in the eyes. The eyes are up. Oh, look away, look away..." A 30 minute clip! How much filming did you have to do? To just get 30 minutes...Did you have to say at any time or think, "Ian, I'm up here". I certainly wouldn't blame him if any of that took place. I do disagree with him on players abandoning responsibility for knowing their tools. Pros, when I was growing-up and learning the game, worked on their own clubs. Drilling cavities in the wooden heads and adding lead weight, etc. And now, every golfer has a tour van in their pocket, especially with driver, fairways, and hybrids. Experiment with loft, lie, and head-weight. Hit balls and observe ball flight. It isn't difficult at all. Excellent video!

      Honestly it really depends. Having well fit clubs benefit me a lot because it helped to get rid of some of the misses I hated to see that would ruin me mentally for the rest of the round. If it's in the budget, I'd do a club fitting and let the fitter see what's going on. But just getting out on the course more and actually keeping score can also help a lot!

I wonder if it's because she has laid off competition for so long, that as a former tour pro, she's afraid of embarrassing herself in competitions, especially with amateurs or ex-college players. Hopefully, she's practicing behind the scenes so to return to competitions.

    I went back to the Bridgestone j33 p driver last year. it's a 375 cc that has a low profile and obliterates the ball. goes further than my newer honma! and it doesn't look like a boot on the end of a stick.
